Up On the Roof!

I have blogged about science fiction from the medical point of view and how it is hard to watch some shows with my spouse and in-laws who happen to be doctors and sometimes roar with laughter at the medical mistakes made in the shows, sometimes I have to go to another room if I want to watch a show in peace! I mentioned I like the television show ER with all the mistakes, and I also adore Becker , which I am told is more medically accurate, and now I like Nurse Jackie as quirky as that show is, it makes me laugh. So why the title of my post? The last episode of Nurse Jackie I watched, she sang the song "Up on the Roof" to her daughter and I was so delighted by that because I had not heard that song in so long. It reminded me of how I get on the roof to use my telescope or binoculars to view the night sky in peace because it gives me the best view. Anyway, I took the long way around to say I love the song and I do get up on my roof to stargaze, and I like the new show Nurse Jackie (which I am told has loads of medical mistakes) but is very humorous.

Anatomie (2000)

I came across an awesome movie last night entitled "Anatomie," a German movie about the experience of a German medical student and her gruesome discovery while attending Heidelberg Medical School. This horror film was interesting, well acted, and surprisingly medically accurate; I say surprisingly, because sometimes horror movies get the medicine wrong, but this was great! I also watched the movie in German and subtitled. I have always preferred to watch any movie in its original language and subtitled as opposed to dubbed because I like to hear the actor´s emotion and true voice, in my opinion, that is partly why they were chosen for the part, with dubbing, you are getting another actor´s interpretation of the original actor. I once watched Star Trek : TNG dubbed and the voice of Worf sounded so wimpy I could not stand to watch for more than 15 minutes of the show!
Anyway, if you like a good thriller this movie is for you and I recommend subtitled! Here is a clip in German, but you will get the idea.
